Trendsetter Engineering has announced the successful qualification of our high‐temperature, metal‐to‐metal sealing TEX‐5 gasket. The TEX‐5 gasket is featured in Trendsetter’s proprietary Trendsetter Connection System (TCS) vertical flowline connection system.
The TEX‐5 gasket successfully completed API 6A PR2/PR3 elevated temperature testing at 400°F and 15,000 psi. The vertical connection system is one of many critical components being developed and qualified for the industry’s first API 17TR8 & API 17W compliant capping stack.
“The TEX‐5 400°F qualification is a key milestone in the development of the world’s‐first 400°F capping stack. The TCS flowline connection system will enable future high‐pressure, high‐temperature subsea field developments,” said David Older, executive vice president of engineering.
Trendsetter’s TEX series gaskets are available in bore sizes from 2-11in and have been previously qualified at temperatures of ‐20-302°F and at pressure ratings up to 20,000 psi.
